Q: Contact icon

I have an iphone 5 - I have lost my contacts iphone from my front screen.   I have tried a home page reset - still not there and I have switched off contacts and switched on again through icloud - still not there.  My contacts are still showing on Whatsapp, and on my ipad mini also the icon and contacts are in my icloud account, but how do I get it to show on my phone.

iPhone 5, iOS 10.0.2

    Hello luvvies,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 

    I understand from your post that you are no longer able to see the Contacts App icon on your home screen for your iPhone 5 running iOS 10.0.2. I know how important it is for you to be able to tap the Contacts App and go directly to your contacts. I recommend checking the App Store to see if you are able to download the Contacts App. If it was removed by accident, you can install it again using the steps below: 

    Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS device with iOS 10
    1. Go to the App Store and search for the app. Tap Download to restore the app.
    2. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.
    Best Regards.
